Grand Slam of Darts

[DaveF]

Started today so the Gary Anderson watch is on again.

He's in a group with Wade, Wright and Harms and has got off to a good start with a 5-1 win and a 107 average. Wade beat Wright 5-2.

[jodjam]

Wade v Anderson should be the best game tonight.

Wade v Anderson should be the best game tonight.

Wade looks like he had someone thrown out after something was said to him during the walk on. Whether that spurs him on or distracts him, we'll see.

Anderson misses 2 darts at tops, gets a life, then misses another 3. Lost opening leg against the throw!

[DaveF]

Wade takes out 120 to lead 2-0.

[DaveF]

Easy hold, and on the board at 2-1

[DaveF]

Anderson breaks back and takes out 66 to level at 2-2

[DaveF]

Wade takes out 110 to break. 3-2 now.

[DaveF]

Anderson takes out tops to level at 3-3

[DaveF]

Pub darts from Anderson in that leg, losing the throw again. 4-3

[DaveF]

Wade wins 5-3.

Pretty average stuff from Anderson in the last few legs where he hardly hit a treble.

Anderson is infuriating to watch, but I did back him in the match 180 market which he won 1-0.

The guy is/was a one-trick pony with his 180's. Never a serious contender in tournaments with his finishing attributes.

Can't disagree with that G, but even his scoring wasn't that great. Think you only won your bet because Wade was on some serious tablets - he looked like he couldn't be arsed :greengrin

[DaveF]

Watching Hankey makes me want to punch him. He must be sailing close to the wind in terms of unsporting behaviour with his gurns to the camera after every throw, then the super slow walk to and from the board. Be interesting to see how Whitlock deals with it next round.

[DaveF]

The other Gary Anderson was on show tonight. Absolutely devastating form, great scoring and only 1 missed dart at a finish and that was going for the bull.

Taylor in the next round.

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

Aye, was certainly a fine performance, just hope he turns up v Taylor, cannae see him winning, hope to be proved wrong tho.

Good win for Thornton. BDO boys won also. Hankey on now. Lad comes across as a right plum

Can the ref not tell him to get a move on? Bellend.

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

Been watching quite a lot of this tournament this week, cannae believe how much SKY are bumming up all the BDO players, I've got a feeling Hearn/SKY will be having another go at instigating a merger soon.

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

Should be an amazing night of darts tonight, ko's with Wade v Nicholson.

The Huybrechts Brothers
Lewis v MVG
Taylor v Anderson

Not sure if thats the correct order for the last 3 games.

[jodjam]

Wade looked the part in the first game. Hopefully Anderson makes a game of it tonight.

[DaveF]

Anderson doing ok, but fluffed 60 and lost his throw there. 6-4 to Taylor and that could be crucial.

[DaveF]

Beat 10-5 which I think is a bit harsh on Anderson. He made a couple of tiny errors and was done for. Had chances to break Taylor a couple but just not his night.

Signs of a return to form though.

[Sergey]

The MvG/Lewis match was an absolute belter and was up there with the best matches that I've seen. Lewis really is a class act when he brings his A Game to the oche.

The Hankey/Whitlock match will be remembered for a number of reasons. You've simply got to love Hankey and his antics. He's also a decent player.

I actually thought Hanky was a bellend I'd have been throwing my darts at him with his antics

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

Me too, it was good to see Taylor having a dash at him in his post match interview, Hankey is a disgusting character.

Totally agree. Him and Painter are 2 of the biggest erchies on the PDC tour yet the love in for Hankey is full on for some reason.

[3pm]

Lewis 16-11 Huybrechts.

I have to say it was hilarious when Taylor was talking about Hankey and said "I've known him since he was a bat"!

Wade at least putting up a fight here....can't see past Taylor though.

[Hiber-nation]

Good effort by Wade....couldn't hit the big doubles though.

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

Looking forward to Lewis v Taylor tomorrow, should be a cracker.

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

Thornton in danger of chucking his Semi Final after being 7-3 up at the end of the 2nd session, 8-7 now.

Thornton takes the 4th session 4-1, back in control now.

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

Comfortable win in the end for Thornton, 16-9, played some good stuff! :thumbsup:

[Sir David Gray]

As someone who likes to watch the odd darts match but could not be described as a fanatic, this match is incredible.

Not really a fan of Phil Taylor as a person but as a darts player, he is magnificent.

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

I'm starting to feel quite sorry for Lewis, playing brilliantly, but, still getting pumped.

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

:top marks

What a match, 16-9 for Taylor.

Lewis averaged 110.99 and lost, unbelievable!

[Pretty Boy]

What.A.Match.

Taylor is incredible. He may be a total prick but what a player. Beating an opponent comfortably who averaged almost 111.

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

Oh Dear, game over, 5-0 Taylor after the first session! :boo hoo:

[3pm]

Oh Dear, game over, 5-0 Taylor after the first session! :boo hoo:

It's looking ominous.

[Pretty Boy]

Taylor is something else.

Thornton leaves 36, Taylor takes out 2 x treble 19 and bull to finish.

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

14-6 now for Taylor, not long to go.
